Layered email security has protected sensitive research and still flags phishing in real time
The valuable features of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) include providing an additional layer of protection, as it builds on the basic Exchange level of security that allows us to get our work done. Another feature I appreciate is the ability to question things, as our Exchange server allows us to identify in real-time if an email is a phishing email or spam email. It really helps us identify risks, especially through our external exchanges via email or through our cloud-based platforms. Our Exchange system blocks any embedded AI from all our applications and products, so we cannot use embedded AI in our daily work from our official laptops because we have secure information. The system is quite locked down.

A stable and scalable solution to deal with spam and phishing emails
It is difficult for me to talk about areas that require improvement in the solution since I am quite new to the product, but I know that Vade provides an MSP solution. Vade Cloud Email Security doesn't provide sandboxing functionality. The lack of sandboxing functionality cannot be considered a weakness since there are other solutions to deal with faster when it comes to sandboxing. Overall it is a good solution with which we work in our company, so I don't see any clear weaknesses in the solution. It can take a long time for customers to study and operate straight away in a sandbox environment. The solution is okay if it makes the job faster for its users. I don't see ISO 27001 in Vade Cloud Email Security. While functioning on the solution, sometimes a customer needs to have a conformity level of SOC 1 or SOC 2 or some other conformity level. I did not see the aforementioned conformity levels added to Vade Cloud Email Security. Concerning a bank, data can be confidential, and when a bank needs to exchange or transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the tool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"You can use the product to create special accounts."
"We use the solution in all our environments. We use it for remedy tickets and give them updates. It was our main communication point."
"Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) is the best email solution with more features and robust security, making it ideal for corporate use."
"The solution's stability is very, very good. I didn't face any problems in the last year."
"The pre-set policies and configuration analyzer are the most valuable features."
"We use the solution to receive emails. We do not use the calendar function as our clients are slow adaptors to the latest features."
"It provides security to both on-premises and Azure infrastructures."
"It is easy to configure, easy to use, easy to add exclusions, easy to track, and easy to add anything else if you want."
"The most valuable features of the solution are how the product works against phishing and provides centralization, allowing users to recognize phishing emails."
 

Cons

"The solution can be complex at times. It would be nice to have the on-server version. It needs to improve the stability as well."
"The licensing can be on the expensive side, especially in the cloud space."
"They should specify the difference between Defender for Office 365 and Exchange Online Protection."
"Microsoft 365 Defender and EOP policies are stable with the proper license. However, with the basic policy, it's hard to say it's stable due to configuration limitations."
"The reporting needs a little bit of improvement."
"The biggest issue that I experience is that Microsoft keeps moving things around, and it's very inconsistent as to where you find the information when you're trying to work on different pieces."
"We would like the solution to have more in-built intelligence in the way that it reviews potential security risks, rather than our team constantly having to update the policies."
"Besides price, the main room for improvement includes the sandbox or something similar; the usability that solutions are focused on."
"Vade Cloud Email Security doesn't provide sandboxing functionality...when a bank needs to exchange or transfer such data, it has to be specific to a certain level of conformity, which I did not see in the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"Regarding the price, it's comparable to other service providers. We've also looked at Check Point's offerings, and the pricing doesn't seem to be an issue."
"Microsoft Exchange Online Protection is a good solution at an affordable price. It is a good investment."
"The price could be lower."
"The solution's pricing is subscription-based rather than a yearly licensing cost. Pricing is based on the size of the environment and company and can be expensive."
"The pricing for the solution depends on what you are trying to achieve with the use of the product, but I know that it is not a cheaply priced product. Yearly payments have to be made towards the licensing fees of the solution."
"The solution falls on the higher or more expensive side of the spectrum."
"The solution should reduce the cost."
"It is a competitively-priced solution in the market...There are no additional payments for maintenance or support."
